THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE: SECTION 1. Based upon public input received at a noticed public hearing before the Planning Commission and based upon additional information provided in the Staff Report, and based upon testimony received before the City Council at a noticed continuation of public hearing on March 1, 1994, the City Council hereby approves Zone Variance 93 -1190 based upon the following findings: 1. That there are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of such property which do not generally apply to other properties in the same zone in that the subject property is situated on a corner location, abutting a major thoroughfare; the existing development, including the location of the garage, precludes complying with the Code; and 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other properties similarly situated but which is denied to the property in question in that the subject property is less than the minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and existing improvements on the lot make it quite difficult to add additional square footage or provide additional garage parking, and 3. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to adjacent or neighboring properties in that the proposed addition to the house is designed in such a way as to minimize visual impact from the streets. Furthermore, other two story structures exist in the vicinity and it is likely that existing single story dwellings will be improved within the vicinity as time goes on; and 4. That there are special circumstances as provided in Section 65906 of the California Government Code in that the subject property is situated on a corner and is developed with a ninety -eight foot long driveway which can accommodate several cars parked in tandem, but precludes the possibility of providing additional garage parking. SECTION 2. This project is not inconsistent with the General Plan, and is categorically exempt from CEQA. SECTION 3. Accordingly, Zone Variance 93 -1190 is approved, subject to the review and approval of the construction plans. SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.
